No Bake Lemon-cheesecake

Lemon Cheesecake is about as crowd pleasing as Sticky Toffee Pudding in my experience. I have always had a bit of a thing for the whole ginger and lemon cheesecake thing too.

So having this recipe here on my site was always going to be one of the first things I was going to do when I started out. Especially as it’s a flipping fabulous recipe. One of my very best in fact.

I use condensed milk to sweeten and thicken the cheesecake filling along with the cream and the cream cheese. It is the stuff of the easypeasy.

I also use ginger biscuits for the base an absolute perfect pairing with the lemon. They have the most insane chemistry together.

But first……scroll past to the recipe below if you’re feeling hungry

This weekend I actually braved the supermarket with my two kids. I wished I hadn’t.

They fought like catty women at a sale. I lost the will to live in the Home Baking, Bread, Meat and Frozen Vegetable Aisles. God it was intense.

Occasionally I do feel an overwhelming desire to drop kick my kids into the waist high open freezers on top of the cauliflower florets and sliced carrots .

I then imagine leaving them to vegetable frostbite in order to teach them a lesson whilst dodging the security guards and legging it swiftly to a beautiful, sunny meadow where I can doze in the sunshine and talk to the tame wildlife that come to nibble from my beautifully manicured hands………..

Shopping bought as well as a whole carrier bag full of crisps. (Don’t judge it was one of those days) I drove like a lunatic home whilst trying to deep breathe and remember their numerous virtues.

Netflix saved the next couple of hours and I most thankfully grabbed the opportunity to sit alone, ram the rest of the crisps in my mouth and regroup.

That night after half a bottle of wine I was able to psycho stare at them as usual whilst they slept and feel my heart burst with love instead of murderous intent……this Lemon cheesecake helped….a lot.

Ginger Biscuit Rubble

I use my food processor to crush the biscuits but crushing them in a plastic bag or similar will work just as well albeit with a little more effort.

Use a spoon to smooth the ginger biscuit rubble evenly over the base of the dish and a little up the edge.

Chill until hard. I often put it in the freezer for 10 minutes but the fridge for 30 minutes is fine too.

I also use a free standing mixer for the whisking but an electric hand held whisk will do the job too.

Whisk all the filling ingredients together at the same time until thick and dollop it on to the biscuit base.

Cheesecake Filling

Smooth the filling all over with a spatula……… Jobs a good’un.

It COULDN’T be any easier. It’s just bonkers.

No Bake Lemon Filling

Leave it in the fridge for a few (3 to 4) hours.

How to Store Lemon Cheesecake

It will sit in the fridge happily for leftovers.

I go back for more for 3 days or so. I make sure I cover it with clingfilm.

You can freeze it easily. Simply put it in a stout container/tupperware and freeze for up to a month.

Remove from the container to thaw.

I put it onto a serving dish and leave it to come to room temperature.

Ingredients

Instructions

Crush the biscuits well and add the butter. I do this in my food processor.

Tip the buttery crumbs into the dish you are using. Mine is 23 cm wide but don't sweat a cm smaller or so.

Push them all firmly flat with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 mins.

Juice the lemons and tip into a large bowl along with all the remaining ingredients and whisk until it all considerably thickens. I use a free standing mixer which makes this bit even easier but a handheld electric whisk will do the job too. It needs to be very thick.

Dollop it onto the base and smooth over with a spatula. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or so.

Apply to Murderous Face for genuine serenity and bliss.

Do let me know how you get on in the comments below. I do love a good old hairy chinwag.

Jenny, much like you, somehow my children managed to both entice and escape my murderous intent toward them, thankfully! Many were the days I would imagine myself the subject of the evening news… Mom of three arrested for infanticide. I thank you for this recipe. Know that you are not alone.
